Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) is an application security technology that is integrated with an application or with its runtime environment and detects attacks on applications in real-time. The solution constantly monitors the application for security check and protects it from SQL injection and other security threats. RASP solutions enable enterprises to secure their critical business applications deployed on-premises as well as on the cloud. These solutions also enable the integration of the existing cybersecurity solutions, such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), security and vulnerability management, and unified threat management, which help enterprises to enhance security and comply with stringent regulations. In this report, MarketsandMarkets expects the RASP market size to grow from USD 294.7 Million in 2017 to USD 1,240.1 Million by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 33.3%.
